The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Federal Reserve Board (FRB), and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) are three of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) Agencies. Under the guidance of the FFIEC Reports Task Force, these three agencies (Call Report Agencies) formed a steering committee to collectively manage the development and operation of the Central Data Repository (CDR). The CDR is a centralized resource for users and providers of the financial institution data. It facilitates a more efficient regulatory reporting process by enhancing the methods used to collect, validate, process, and distribute Call Report data.

The CDR Steering Committee created working groups to facilitate communication with a range of data providers and data users, including depository institutions, Call Report software vendors, agency staff, other banking regulators, XBRL developers, and the public.
